Proponents of Equality: III Bigots: III Ron D'Amico is helping keep the balance in the Post-Gazette Letters to the Editor count when it comes to marriage equality. I am writing to express my extreme pleasure with Sen. Daylin Leach and his move to legalize same-sex marriage in Pennsylvania (“Senator Pushes Bill to Allow Same-Sex Marriage,” May […]
Not a lot to report on the local front. The dueling marriage equality bills are not generating the outpouring of letters to the editor we experienced in 2006 and 2008. Maybe you could write one? New Hampshire votes on marriage equality today. Check out the comments section to see (for once!) a constructive outcome to […]
Robert Perloff of Shadyside believes in Barack Obama as the “Do Ask, Do Tell” President: President Barack Obama differs with the “don't ask, don't tell” homosexual policy of earlier presidencies. He seeks to remove homosexuality as a forbidden species and to respect and pay tribute to gays and lesbians who wish to serve in the […]
Breaking news from the Philadelphia Gay News: Pennsylvania state employees in same-sex relationships will now be able to obtain the same medical benefits for their partners as heterosexual married employees.

I read the Post-Gazette's endorsement of Robert Daniel Lavelle this morning with some skepticism. I've lived on the Northside for almost 4 years. Tonya Payne is the only elected official representing Manchester who has showed up IN MANCHESTER. Not only that, she actually organizes meetings specific to our neighborhood. I've never seen Robert Daniel Lavelle […]
Pam Spaulding nails the Democrats on their social conservative bull. And as it's quite obvious, this isn't a New York problem. This is a Democratic party problem. It manifests itself in the whole “go slow” attitude on legislation that during the election year promises sounded like change was around the corner; it's the whole “uh, […]
Wow. Yesterday was quite the day for the LGBTQ community. First, the Vermont legislature overturned a veto of the marriage equality legislation, becoming the 4th state in the country to legalize same sex marriage. That's almost 10% of the states. Woo hoo. Plus, the District of Columbia Council voted to recognize same sex marriages performed […]
In honor of the Primary Pittsburgh Project, I'd like to take a few inches of this blog to review why I think this is a great place for the LGBTQ/gay/queer community. First, the City of Pittsburgh has codified our civil rights and civil protections. It is illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, […]
Courtesy of Pam's House Blend I think these answers are consistent with what we've heard so far from John Edwards, along with an clear statement that he supports the repeal of DOMA, which is what stands in the way of marriage equality on paper. Every single candidate who is in favor of civil unions cannot […]
